Question about ITIN and checking accounts

Hi everyone! My boyfriend will soon be getting his ITIN. We currently have a joint savings account, however, he is currently not allowed to open a checking account. Will the ITIN allow him to open a checking account as well? Also, do any of you have suggestions of banks where we can open a checking/savings account together that does not require him to have a SSN? Please help!! Thank you all SO much and I truly appreciate all of your help and advice!
